and even across the river at st. Thomas
hospital, the windows We're crowded
with people. On the procession near
ing the abbey the troops saluted,
guns were fred, the bells of the
churches rang out merry peals and flags
were run up, the cheering being contin-
ued until the queen had passed into the
west door. After passing through the
VeStibule her majesty was conducted to
the grand dais under the lantern tower.
She was surrounded by thirty-two mem
the abbey when the queen entered was
dazzling. Ten thousand people were
seated. The women discarded their
wraps and revealed the full SplendOr
of their beauty and attire. Three tiers
of galleries had been built in the abbey
with seats for 10000.
THE PEERS AND THEIR WIVES
We're seated in the south tranSept. The
ambassadors were seated right and left
of the peers. The members of the house
of commons were placed in the north
transept. The seats for the members of
the royal families of Europe, etc, were
within the communion rails. All the
great learned societies and corporation
were represented. While the notables
of the law. science, art and agriculture
and W0rkingmen representatives from
all parts of the United Kingdom had
seats duly assigned to them. The queen
was nOticeably pale when she reached
the dais She soon, however. recovered,
and regained the bright and pleasant
aspect she had borne all the morning.
The religious services in the abbey in
cOmmemOration of the queens jubilee
were conducted according to the care
fully prepared programme, which has
already been published. The arch
bishop of Canterbury and the dean of
Westminster alone conducted them.
Nearly every dignitary of the estab-
lished church, however, was present,
besides great number of distinguished
clergymen belonging to other denomi-
nations. The queens advent was ar
ranged so that she entered the abbey
precisely at noon. DR.. Bridge, organiSt
of the abbey, who had for the occasion
q specially trained choir of $50 voices
from the great choirs of London, a
number of eminent SoloiStS, besides d
large accompaniment of brass inStru-
ments, gradually drew the great con-
gregation into silence and the respective
places to be prepared for the queens
coming by rendering number OF Selec-
tlonS in a manner that made every per-
son within hearing Of the great organ
listen to catch its softeSt notes. When
the queen reached the abbey and the
royal procession was forming in the
marquee outside the west door, the state
trumpeters, in gold and crimson uni
forms, executed fanfareS from the organ
loft, nearly in the center of the edifice.
When the clergy at the head Of the
royal procession moved into the church
the national anthem was rendered by
the organ.s
THE MUSIC WAS Thrilling:
the audience rose as a unit and lent
their 10000 voices TO accompany the
choir. The effect was so grand, SO pro-
found, that many persons were moved
to tears. 1t was at this moment that the
queen appeared within the doors. Then
the singing of the anthem ceased and
the professional march from Handel's
Occasional OratOrio' was begun by the
organ during the progress of the queen
and the royal family to the daiS. When
they were seated the archbishop of
Canterbury and the dean of Westmin-
ster, who had taken their places, began
the service by asking of God blessing
upon the queen. The ''Te Deum Laud-
anus was then sung by the choir to
the music composed by the prince con-
sort, the queen having requested this.
The Lords Prayer was then said, and
the answers adapted to the occaSion)
were intoned. Then three special
prayers were offered. Following the
prayers the ''EXaudiat TIE Dominus"
was sung with organ and brass band ac-
compartment. The dean of Westminster
advancedto the altar rails and read the
lesson for the day First Epistle Peter,
ii, 6-16l. Dr.. Bridges special anthem,
selected by the queen last year as her
jubilee anthem, was next rendered,
followed by the choral "Gotha,''
composed by the prince con-
sort. In the rests the national
anthem was introduced. Two more
special prayers for the defense of the
faith, the spiritual welfare of the king
dom, and fer peace and love followed,
and were supplemented by the benedio-
ton, which was pronounced by the
archbishop. When the benediction had
been pronounced the queens sons knelt
before her and kissed her hand. They
arose and her majesty kissed each upon
his cheek. The princess next advanced
to the queen and kissed her hand, and
she kissed them all, favoring some
twice, making unusual demonstration
over the Princess of Wales and Princess
Beatrice. Other relatives of the queens
then saluted her, and she shook hands
with some and

tion applauded warmly. All the prin-

After the royal salutations had all been
moved out of the abbey, preceded by
the royal family, the Congregation
standing and cheering with fervor all
the while, Memberships march from
"Athalie' being rendered by the organ
and band until her majesty had de-
parted. 1t was past o'clock when the
queen emerged from the abbey. She at
once resumed her carriage and returned
to Buckingham palace, this time taking
the route she went after her coronation
fifty years ago. This was via Parlia-
ment street, Whitehall, Cockspur street,
Pail Mall, st. James street, PicadilIy
and Constitution hill to Buckingham
palace. When the royal procession
reached Parliament street it found the
roads as denSely crowded as they were

cept at the government offices, seats had
been erected and gaily decorated with

was erected facing the Horse guards and
alongside the Chapel Royal, was
A GRAND SIGHT,
the queen gratefully acknowledging the
salutes and cheering of its occupants.
Passing through Trafalgar square into
Pail Mall the MONDAY scenes were re-
enacted. The whole frbnts of the spa

others. The Reform and Carleton clubs
